Within a few days, the baby&#8217;s right eye went blind. Doctors suggested chemotherapy and eye removal. The parents turned to the Swiss Jules-Gonin Hospital, where they were offered a treatment and the opportunity to save the eye. The family was able to pay for the first course of treatment on their own, but now they need our help to continue the treatment.

Diagnosis: acute lymphoblastic leukemia.<br \/>\nElena has been fighting cancer since the age of 13. In September 2021, Elena complained of feeling unwell. A blood test showed that the girl has leukemia. They immediately began a treatment, which was very difficult and complex. After this, a bone marrow transplant from her sister was performed. This brought positive results, but after some time a relapse has occurred. In December 2023, the examination results revealed the appearance of a new tumour. The doctors said that they could not offer any further treatment. The girl\u2019s relatives turned to foreign clinics. The Turkish clinic Emsey is ready to take Alena for a treatment. Elena believes in her recovery, she has many plans for the future &#8211; to graduate from a pedagogical university and create her own school of the future with a personal know-how approach, in which children will be comfortable and interested in learning. The cost of her treatment is about USD 165,000.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/AlenaSt.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/AlenaSt-223x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"223\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-21349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/AlenaSt-223x300.jpg 223w, https:\/\/www.orthodiakonia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/AlenaSt.jpg 412w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\" \/><\/a> ALENA STATSEVICH, Belarus, 12 y. o. Diagnosis: myelodysplastic syndrome.<br \/>\nAlena\u2019s medical history has begun in 2016. She began to complain of pain in her legs and was constantly getting sick. A diagnosis was made: stage 4 neuroblastoma with damage to the lymph nodes and skeletal bones. A very long path of treatment was completed: surgery, various combinations of chemotherapy, radioactive iodine therapy, bone marrow transplantation of her own cells, immunotherapy with two drugs, vaccine therapy. There was a remission, but after 3 years there was a relapse again. Thanks to treatment, she was lucky to go into remission again. Several months ago, the girl was hospitalized with high fever and chest pain. Alena was treated with antibiotics and antifungal drugs, but the fever persisted. After a bone marrow puncture, a new diagnosis was established &#8211; the myelodysplastic syndrome. As a result of the difficult treatment she has undergone, her bone marrow is not working properly. Alena constantly requires transfusions of red blood cells and platelets. She was prescribed appropriate treatment with all necessary medications. But her only chance for a full recovery is a bone marrow transplant from an unrelated donor. The parents have sent the medical history and test results to several clinics in Germany. The doctor opinion is unanimous: there is definitely a chance for recovery. A transplant can save the child. However, there is no possibility of such treatment in Belarus. The bill for treatment at the Greifswald clinic is EUR 417,582. Alena\u2019s relatives have started a fundraiser and are doing everything possible to find the funds for their daughter\u2019s treatment. At the moment, there are yet EUR 87,555 to collect.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nHURRY TO DO GOOD!<br \/>\nI wish health to you all!
